2001 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"Great Deal - Drove off the lot for $20k, could trade it in today $15.5k - I've had 3 yrs next month!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car to date other than a slight scratch on the passenger side, but that was from someone's carelessness in the parking lot.
General comments?
Excellent car is still in excellent condition - I wish it had a bit more performance.
The tires - while good (Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus 195/65R15's) do seem so "squeal" a bit easy when going around a corner. A bit embarrassing when you're pushing a yellow light and your 5 year-old is in the car. The car is capable of cornering quite beyond the point the tires begin to make their "squeal" - however, the "squeal" does allow you to stay within reasonable driving limitations. Though, without the kids I can easily take a 35mph on-ramp at 70mph without fear - very good balance.
